This policy has contributed to educational growth and development. Today, schools in Gomoa Central can be counted among the best in the Central Region in terms of academic standards.

Over the past four years, our student's performance has risen higher than it used to be some years ago.

Most of our students have been gaining admission to what we say are first-class schools like Achimota, Adisadel, Mfantsipim, Mfantsiman Girl's and others which hinder to were 'no go area' for students from schools in Gomoa Central District.

Thank God our little contribution is changing the lives of my constituents in their various fields of endeavour.

I once again want to show my appreciation to Nananom, Religious Leaders, Assembly Members, my able Constituency Executives, and my workaholic DCE, Hon. Benjamin Kojo Otoo for their unflinching support"
